FREQUENTLY ASKED MASSAGE QUESTIONS

Do I need to take off my clothes?
For most types of massage therapy, the answer is usually yes, with Shiatsu being the exception to this rule. However, the amount of clothing you need to remove depends largely on the extent of the treatment you are receiving. For full body treatments, you should undress down to your pants at least, but most clients opt to remove all their clothes. Since no two therapists are alike, it is best to ask during the consultation what is preferred. You should be covered with towels or sheets, so the only parts showing are the parts being treated. This helps you to relax and helps to keep you warm.

 

Will therapy hurt?
If at any time the treatment you are receiving is causing you too much discomfort, ask the therapist to stop or ease off for a few minutes. Be open and let the therapist know how you are feeling and your treatment will be a lot more enjoyable and productive. The old adage "no pain no gain" is not relevant to massage therapy treatments you receive. Remember that it is your physical condition or dysfunction that is painful, not the treatment. You should feel better at the end of each treatment and the treatments will become more comfortable as your dysfunctions improve.

 

Is it safe to receive massage during pregnancy?
Not only is it safe, it is also very beneficial and comforting. Massage therapy can be received throughout the entire nine month pregnancy term. If you are experiencing complications during pregnancy, discuss your condition with your doctor or midwife first. It is not recommended that you use or allow anyone to apply any pure essential oils (aromatherapy oils) on you in the first three months of your pregnancy. If oils are used, they should be mild ones like Lavender oil.
